Nice! And just when I thought I had everything I needed. :facepalm: :)

Apropos :facepalm:

I think about to buy one since 20 years...

[Ed A.]

A musical instrument that emits radon (http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/granite.asp). What'll they think of next?

[rasputin1963]

The player is moistening his fingers and playing it like a champagne glass (sort of) ?

[Super 8]

Must...purchase...expensive...rock

[Tedster]

Hey, Rudolf, any websites that would have mp3s of how those sound?

And judging from the size of that thing compared to the player, you wouldn't go lugging that around to a gig. It looks like it'd weigh as much as a grand piano, maybe more!

[Ed A.]

I'm not Rudolf, but here you go:

The audio clips are on the bottom of the page.

The sound reminds me of stuff I do with Sculpture in Logic Studio, except Sculpture weighs a lot less. ;)
